TAKE TWO: ABC Sets June Premiere Date For CASTLE Creators’ New Drama

What happens when a television star uses the skills she learned on-set in the real world? In ABC’s new drama, TAKE TWO (from CASTLE creators Terri Edda Miller and Andrew Marlowe), a disgraced actress (Rachel Bilson) teams up with a PI (Eddie Cibrian) as research for a new role. But, naturally, the duo work well together, and she may end up shadowing him longer than planned.

Sound intriguing? You won’t have to wait long to watch it! ABC announced the TAKE TWO premiere will air Thursday, June 21 at 10/9c.

Here’s what ABC had to say about the new procedural:

“From Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe, the creators and executive producers of ABC’s highly popular series CASTLE, comes this upbeat detective series that follows Sam Swift (Rachel Bilson), the former star of a hit cop series whose epic breakdown is broadcast to the public and sends her to rehab. Desperate to restart her career, she talks her way into shadowing lone-wolf private investigator Eddie Valetik (Eddie Cibrian) as research for a potential comeback role. Though Eddie resents the babysitting gig, high-spirited Sam uses the skills she learned as an actor playing a cop and proves herself to be surprisingly valuable.

The cast also includes Xavier de Guzman, Aliyah O’Brien and Alice Lee.

TAKE TWO is created and executive produced by Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe, along with Studiocanal TV’s Rola Bauer and Tandem Productions’ Tim Halkin. The pilot was directed by John Terlesky. TAKE TWO is produced by Tandem Productions and MilMar Pictures in co-production with ABC Studios. TAKE TWO was co-developed and co-financed by ABC, VOX and France 2.”
